1. Shire President’s Message

This will be my final Shire president's Message allied to the Annual Report as I have decided not to re-nominate when my current term expires in October 2007. I enjoy the role and could go on but I think it is time for a change. It has been a challenging 8 years and because I have been fortunate to have a group of Councillors and Council staff all working to a common goal of the best thing for the community that we all love it has not been a difficult time. We have achieved much and stayed independent in spite of rumblings of amalgamations at various times and we have been able to do so because we have been able to demonstrate our capacity to run our Shire in a well managed and independent manner. I take particular pride in our Medical services and the manner in which we have not only been able to retain our Hospital, Senior Citizen's Lodge and Medical services; but have also purchased the Medical Centre and employed a Doctor and support staff. This decision by Council has been recognised both at State and Federal level as a somewhat unique achievement and one that has been used as a benchmark by other Shires who wish to provide Medical Services to their Community. Our unique relationship with the Sandakan Municipal Council in Sabah, Malaysia is growing and Mr Yeo Boon Hai, Shire President, has advised me that the proposal that I put to him to develop a Sister City relationship between our Towns has been approved in principle by the Malaysian Government and that he will be visiting Boyup Brook for the Sandakan Memorial in September 2007 as our guest. The Country Music Festival for 2006 was very successful and now is a significant event for Boyup Brook and Western Australia. The club and the community are to be congratulated for achieving this recognition for the Shire. I thank my fellow Councillors for their support and tireless energy in representing the Community; our loyal and enthusiastic staff members; and our volunteers who make Boyup Brook what it is, a great place to work and live. Terry Ginnane JP SHIRE PRESIDENT

Shire of Boyup Brook Annual Report 2005/2006

The Shire of Boyup Brook is located on the raised inland Darling Plateau with the main population base and the administrative centre located in the Boyup Brook townsite (which has a population of approximately 600). It is situated on the upper reaches of the Blackwood River approximately 270 kilometres (by road) south/south-east of Perth. The Shire is predominantly rural in nature and consists of a transition area ranging from smaller holdings near the western boundary to large broad acre farms to the east. However, there is a current trend toward more intensive agricultural pursuits including viticulture, aquaculture, vegetable production, olive production and tree farming. The Shire of Boyup Brook occupies an area of 283,800 hectares and has within its boundaries several smaller localities including Wilga, Mayanup, Dinninup, Chowerup, Tonebridge, McAlinden and Kulikup. During the late 1980’s through to today, there have been an increasing number of more intensive agricultural pursuits becoming established in the shire. Vineyards at Kulikup were introduced in the 1970’s and in Dinninup and Mayanup in the late 1980’s as well as substantial deer and goat farms. There have been significant plantings of wine and table grape vines between 1994 and 1997. During the period 1997 to 2003 with returns from wool and cattle diminishing, a significant proportion of the shire’s arable land was planted to eucalyptus globulus (Tasmanian blue gums).

Colin Rohrlach the 1996 Citizen of the Year celebrates his birthday on Australia Day.

4. Acting Chief Executive Officer’s Report

As the report relates to the year 2005/06, it has been prepared recognising that I have been Acting Chief Executive Officer since the 20th November 2006, following the resignation of the past CEO, Mr Will Pearce on 17th November 2006. In preparing this report reference to the major projects and programmes completed/undertaken by the Shire during the year are outlined in Department Reports under Section (8) of the Annual Report. Again there have been changes within the Administration Staff with the appointment of Heather Lloyd, Customer Service Officer, Vanessa Ward, Relief CEO’s Secretary/Rates Officer and Wayne Jolley, part time Environmental Health/Building Officer. The Auditor’s report has highlighted a number of deficiencies in relation to compliance and those matters will be attended to ensuring the requirements of Legislation are complied with. I am concerned about the delay in the completion of the audit and the consequential date for the Annual Electors Meeting being nine months after the end of the financial year. Again the matters relating to this will be addressed to make sure the Annual Meeting is held as soon as possible after the end of the financial year. I would like to thank all the staff for their contribution and work during the year under review. The Shire is fortunate to have staff that are committed to providing the Community with a high level of service. In closing I wish to thank the Shire President and Councillors for the support they have provided and their contribution to the development of the Shire. Tony Doust ACTING CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Councillors There were 11 ordinary meetings and 5 special meetings of the Council held during the year. Standing and advisory committees comprising of Councillors and community representatives met during the year. Many more meetings took place for single purpose issues. The Council hosts and contributes towards a number of civic ceremonies and functions annually including the Sandakan Memorial, ANZAC Day, Remembrance Day, Christmas Carols in the Park, Christmas function, Citizenships, Australia Day, Boyup Brook Book Bonanza, Agricultural Show and Country Music Festival. Human Resources The Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA) for the outside workforce continues to provide incentives to improve performance. The Occupational Health and Safety Committee continued to address issues of concern either immediately or, if not urgent in nature, referred matters through management to address as budget issues. Safety training and education in relation to manual handling, duty of care, hazard identification and legislative requirements was provided for staff. The regional Occupational Health, Safety and Risk Co-ordinator provides management with specialised support in this most important of areas. Councillors and employees attended relevant conferences and forums to keep up to date with current issues. Forums attended included Local Government Week, Local Government Manager’s, Road forums, Records Management forums and Economic Development conferences.

This year saw a rate rise of 2.45% a considerable reduction on the previous year’s 6.12%, which was largely due to acquiring the services of a doctor and providing him with a house and surgery.

Extensive refurbishment commenced at the Medical Centre resulting in the Physiotherapist relocating to a larger area and a further two consulting rooms being created. The pool was in need of attention and an upgrade of the pool bowl and surrounds was undertaken at a cost of $210,000. A special loan was obtained from WA Treasury for this purpose. Council purchased a new residence in Rogers Avenue for CEO accommodation but it will not be available for Shire use until 2008 as the Government Employees Housing Association is leasing it for this period. National Competition Policy The Council has reviewed all areas of operation to determine the existence or otherwise of significant business activities. A significant business activity is defined as an activity with an income in excess of $200,000 pa, which is not a regulatory service (community service obligation) and is not already contracted out. Accordingly, it has been determined that Council has no significant business activity for the purposes of competitive neutrality as it relates to the National Competition Policy Clause 7 statement.

Records Management

Compliance The shire is committed to good record keeping practices and complies with relevant legislation including the State Records Act 2000. Under this Act, a Records Keeping Plan was submitted and approved by the State Records Commission for a period of five years from March 2005. Record keeping issues are discussed at the monthly staff meetings.

Record Keeping Plan Review A review of the effectiveness and efficiency of the Record Keeping Plan will be done as required by 2010.

Improvements and Developments Record keeping practices within the shire are continually evolving and improving. We saw the completion of the retention and disposal process of old files. The retention and disposal will continue on a yearly basis with the recently closed files.

In the year ahead, vital maps, plans and corporate library will be registered on the electronic system. The Cemetery still has to be surveyed and plots will be numbered and cross referenced with the cemetery database. Cemetery procedures will be put in place. 8.2 COMMUNITY SERVICES Waste Management Domestic waste continued to be collected with Boyup Brook being serviced by Warren Blackwood Waste Disposal and Wilga, Dinninup and Kulikup being serviced by shire staff. Recycling continued to be managed jointly by the shire and the Lions Club enabling funds raised from selling the materials to recycling companies to be circulated back into the community.

Boyup Brook Recycling and Transfer Station

Animal Control Our contract ranger is continuing to do periodic surveillance around the town and impounds dogs that are roaming free. Due to budgetary restrictions this is only a part-time position and it is not always possible to access his services. Bushfire Control The Chief Bushfire Control Officer, Mr Michael Giles resigned in May 2006 and Mr Kevin Henderson has taken on the role. The CBFCO continues to be ably assisted in the administration role by a part-time Fire Administration Assistant. We are very fortunate that most fire incidents are controlled promptly by the brigades. The shire commends and values the many hours that volunteer brigade members invest in ensuring that our lives are safe from the menace of bushfires.

Shire Library

Library Services Council continues to provide a computer to access the Worldwide Web for the purpose of obtaining additional library resources. Our access to any book available in Western Australia is of enormous benefit to local residents.

Membership continues to increase and our book exchange

A fully reconditioned swimming pool

program ensures that there is always something different on the shelf. Recreation and Leisure The walk trail on the outskirts of town continues to be an asset to health conscious community members. This has been augmented with the introduction of a pony/walk bridle trail from town to Skeleton Bridge. The main ovals continue to be renovated to maintain the cohesiveness of the surface. The swimming pool had a major upgrade to the pool bowl and surrounding paving. Underground piping was replaced, cracks were repaired and a special coating was applied to ensure that no further leaks occurred. This work has a guarantee of 15years but it is not likely to need such major attention for at least 20 or more years.

Skatepark and YAC Shack

Youth Activities The Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) has once again participated in some very worthwhile activities this year. These activities include, tree planting, workshops, youth trips, volunteer programs and music education. YAC is about providing skills that will help them after leaving school, the committee members chair and manage their own regular meetings. Web Site The shire has its own website for the purpose of promoting the area and providing relevant information to visitors, residents and potential residents.

Bookbinding workshop at the Boyup Brook Book Bonanza

Further work continues to ensure that the service is as functional and effective as possible. Community Groups and Events The Council continued to provide cash and in-kind support for selected events and activities including – • State Country Music Awards and Festival • Upper Blackwood Agricultural Show • Blackwood Marathon • Boyup Brook Book Bonanza • Harvey Dickson’s Rodeo • Mayanup Campdraft.

The shire’s Local Rural Strategy is still awaiting approval from the WA Planning Commission. The commission requires the shire to incorporate rural subdivision criteria that the shire objects to before being approved. The Council is pursuing the matter with the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure to resolve the impasse.

The Economic Development Committee continues to meet with members coming from local industries/business and peak community groups.

Komatsu Loader in operation

The Economic Development Committee promotes sustainable economic, environmental and social development strategies that enhance the quality of life for all Boyup Brook residents and reverse the shire’s population decline. The Committee is appointed by the Council to advocate for the implementation of the Shire’s Strategic Plan. It also serves as a sounding board for various business and community interests and as the "eyes and ears" for the Council in the business community. 8.4 Works and Services The 2005/2006 works program was based on maintaining and improving Shire infrastructure including roads, bridges, drainage, town gardens, recreation areas and footpaths. Once again the Shire of Boyup Brook was successful in obtaining Timber Industry Road Evaluation Study (T.I.R.E.S.) funding to help maintain and improve local roads affected by the harvesting of plantation timber.

The Federal Government committed Roads to Recovery funding for another program, providing 1.2 million dollars over a four year period to the Shire. T.I.R.E.S. funding of $205,000 was provided by the State Government for the maintenance and preservation of local roads affected by the harvesting of plantation timber. ‘Black Spot’ funding of $36,000 was also provided by the State Government for remedial works and signage to the Dinninup East Road. Further to infrastructure damage caused by severe storms and local flooding in May and June 2005, the Shire was successful in claiming $40,000 special funding assistance from the State Government. Once again the Shire would like to thank all farmers involved in clearing trees and storm debris from roadways to assist Works and Services staff in keeping roads open to traffic.

10. CUSTOMER SERVICE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS The Annual Report contains performance indicators, particularly as they relate to financial ratios, required by legislation. In addition, the Council has identified results from an annual survey of residents as a key component to measure the organisation’s performance. Please note that the Council will carry out Bi-annual surveys from 2006 the next one being in 2008. An inaugural survey was undertaken in 1999. This year brought about the seventh survey which was undertaken in April 2006. The services and facilities measured have been selected due to their representing substantial expenditure of the shire’s total budget. The 2006 survey and comparisons to the previous years’ results are intended to determine: - • how satisfied residents are with services relating to key

program areas such as roads • how satisfied residents are with the quality of customer service

provided by Councillors and employees • satisfaction with Council efforts to communicate to and receive

feedback from residents • changes in averaged satisfaction levels, thereby providing an

indicator to the Council as to whether its direction and utilisation of resources is appropriate.

The survey graphs are a summary of the performance improvements measured from changes to the mean scores recorded over the past seven survey years.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2006

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies which have been adopted in the preparation of this financialreport are:

(a) Basis of PreparationThe financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordancewith applicable Australian Accounting Standards, the Local Government Act 1995 (as amendedand accompanying regulations (as amended). The report has also been prepared on the accrualbasis under the convention of historical cost accounting.

First AIFRSs Financial Report

Compliance with IFRSs

This is the Shire's first Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ("AIFRSs") annual financial report covered by AIFRSs and AASB1 "First Time Adoption of Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards".

The preparation of the annual financial report in accordance with AIFRSs resulted in changes to the accounting policies as compared with the most recent annual financial statements prepared under previous Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("previous GAAP").

The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all periods presented in this financial report. They have also been applied in preparing an opening AIFRSs balance sheet as at 1 July 2004 for the purposes of the transition to Australian Accounting Standards - AIFRSs as required by AASB 1. The impact of the transition from previous GAAP to AIFRSs is explained in Note 35.

International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") form the basis of Australian Accounting Standards adopted by the AASB, being AIFRSs. The financial report of the Shire complies with IFRSs and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board except as follows:

- AIFRSs include specific provisions relating to not-for-profit entities. These are not included in IFRSs.

- Australian Accounting Standard AAS27 "Financial Reporting by Local Governments" also applies and there is no equivalent standard in IFRSs.

The principal areas of non-compliance with IFRSs include:

- the recognition of non-reciprocal revenue; - the definition of value in use for the purposes of estimating the recoverable amount of impaired assets; and - the offsetting of asset revaluation increments and decrements on a class of asset basis rather than individual asset basis.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2006

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(a) Basis of Preparation (Continued)

Critical Accounting Estimates

(b) The Local Government Reporting EntityAll Funds through which the Council controls resources to carry on its functions have beenincluded in the financial statements forming part of this financial report.

In the process of reporting on the local government as a single unit, all transactions and balancesbetween those funds (for example, loans and transfers between Funds) have been eliminated.

All monies held in the Trust Fund are excluded from the financial statements, but a separatestatement of those monies appears at Note 19 to this financial report.

(c) Goods and Services TaxIn accordance with recommended practice, revenues, expenses and assets capitalised are stated netof any GST recoverable. Receivables and payables in the Balance Sheet are stated inclusive ofapplicable GST.

(d) Fixed AssetsProperty, plant and equipment and infrastructure assets are brought to account at cost orindependent or management valuation less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation,amortisation or impairment losses.

The value of all infrastructure assets (other than land under roads) has been recorded in theBalance Sheet. Land under roads are excluded from infrastructure in accordance withlegislative requirements.

The preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that effect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of this experience and other factors combine to form the basis of making judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2006

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(e) InventoriesGeneralInventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Land Held for ResaleLand purchased for development and/or resale is valued at the lower of cost and net realisablevalue. Cost includes the cost of acquisition, development and interest incurred on the financingof that land during its development. Interest and holding charges incurred after development iscomplete are recognised as expenses.

Revenue arising from the sale of property is recognised in the Income Statement as at the timeof signing a binding contract of sale.

(f) Depreciation of Non-Current AssetsAll non-current assets having a limited useful life are separately and systematically depreciatedover their useful lives in a manner which reflects the consumption of the future economic benefitsembodied in those assets.

Depreciation is recognised on a straight-line basis, using rates which are reviewed each reportingperiod. Major depreciation periods are:

Buildings 50 to 100 yearsFurniture and Equipment 5 to 10 yearsPlant and Equipment 5 to 10 yearsSealed roads and streets clearing and earthworks not depreciated construction/road base 40 years original surfacing and major re-surfacing - bituminous seals 15 years - asphalt surfaces 20 yearsGravel roads clearing and earthworks not depreciated construction/road base 15 years gravel sheet 10 yearsFormed roads (unsealed) clearing and earthworks not depreciated construction/road base 10 yearsFootpaths - slab 20 yearsSewerage piping 75 yearsWater supply piping & drainage systems 75 years

(g) LeasesLeases of fixed assets, where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownershipof the asset, but not legal ownership, are transferred to the company, are classified as financeleases. Finance leases are capitalised recording an asset and a liability equal to the presentvalue of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual value. Leased assetsare amortised over their estimated useful lives. Lease payments are allocated between thereduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

Lease payments under operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remainwith the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(h) InvestmentsAll investments are valued at cost and interest on those investments is recognised when accrued.

(i) ImpairmentIn accordance with Australian Accounting Standards the Shire's assets, other than inventories,are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication they may beimpaired.

Where such an indication exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset is madein accordance with AASB 136 "Impairment of Assets" and appropriate adjustments made.

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generatingunit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the Income Statement.

(j) Joint VentureThe municipality’s interest in a joint venture has been recognised in the financial statements byincluding its share of any assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the joint venture withinthe relevant items reported in the Balance Sheet and Income Statement. Information about thejoint venture is set out in Note 16.

(k) Employee BenefitsThe provisions for employee benefits relates to amounts expected to be paid for long serviceleave, annual leave, wages and salaries and are calculated as follows:

(i) Wages, Salaries, Annual Leave and Long Service Leave (Short-term Benefits)The provision for employees’ benefits to wages, salaries, annual leave and long service leaveexpected to be settled within 12 months represents the amount the municipality has a presentobligation to pay resulting from employees services provided to balance date.
